Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am thrilled about the news of the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, codenamed Project Orion. The first game, despite its initial controversies, has a special place in my heart. The immersive world, captivating storyline, and unique characters resonated deeply with me. I believe that CD Projekt Red has learned from their mistakes and is committed to delivering an exceptional gaming experience this time around. The narrative director's enthusiasm and confidence in the project further fuel my excitement. I can't wait to see what surprises and innovations Project Orion has in store for us.
However, I also approach this news with a cautious optimism. The disastrous launch of Cyberpunk 2077 left a bitter taste in the mouths of many gamers, including myself. The numerous bugs, performance issues, and unfulfilled promises damaged CD Projekt Red's reputation. While I appreciate their efforts to rectify the situation with patches and updates, I hope they take extra care to ensure that Project Orion meets the high expectations and delivers a polished, bug-free experience from the start. The gaming community deserves nothing less.
